Lex's disposition must be at least 71 for him to believe you. Then speak with Hieronymus Lex, who at this point should be running around the huts on the Imperial Waterfront, and convince him to search Myvryna's house. Once inside, place the statuette in "Myvryna's Cupboard", which is the cupboard nearest the door and next to her bed. If your sneak skill is good enough, you may be able to get into the house with guards around (just make sure the sneak "eye" shows that you are undetected) if your sneak skill isn't good enough, you will have to wait a long time before there are no guards around. In order to turn the tables on her, you must sneak into her house (located on the Waterfront). The traitor is a Dunmer named Myvryna Arano (the same woman who delivers the invitation to the Thieves' Guild). Methredhel explains that your job was a setup in order to expose a traitor in the Thieves' Guild. If you don't run into her in the streets or while you're inside a building, visit Methredhel's house to find out more about Armand. They will tell you that Methredhel is looking for you. Talk to Isleif or Hillod in the Waterfront district and ask where Armand is. Even worse, the Waterfront is crawling with guards including Hieronymus Lex. Unfortunately, upon arrival in the Waterfront, you find out that Armand has been accused of stealing the statuette and has gone into hiding. You can then just run outside followed by Llathasa's Spirit, and the townspeople will all gather around and attack her (although this risks killing numerous townspeople, especially since most of them cannot do any damage to the ghost). Since this was done in the undercroft without anybody else watching, you won't incur a bounty for trespassing. The ghost can usually kill the guard and it won't incur a blood price. You can allow Llathasa's Spirit to see you, and position yourself so that the ghost will attack the guard.You will not incur any bounty from this and the guard will not follow you. Use calming magic such as Soothing Touch on the guard before she attacks, then run out.Doing it this way will not incur a bounty since you only provoked her, and she was the only one who detected you, thus when she dies, so does your incrimination. Run to the nearest town guard, who will act in your defense and kill her. Grab the statuette then run out of the chapel with the guard in pursuit. Some alternative options for obtaining the statuette are: The easiest way to avoid this is to simply not look inside the coffin the one or two pieces of unenchanted jewelry in the coffin aren't really worth the trouble. The ghost will attack you, which will usually alert the guard as well. If, however, you also try to plunder Llathasa's Tomb (i.e., if you activate the coffin to see what's inside), you will conjure up her ghost. As long as you only pick up the statuette you can sneak back out of the undercroft without incident, and return to the Imperial City. In the back of the alcove you will find the statuette (Llathasa's Bust) and a coffin (Llathasa's Tomb). Lady Llathasa's crypt is to the left, down the stairs. A decent sneak skill, perhaps coupled with an Invisibility or Chameleon enchantment, and good timing are key to success. Therefore, the challenge in obtaining the statuette is sneaking past the guard. Killing her will count as a murder, as well as invoking the blood price for the quest (usually 1000 gold). If she spots you, she will attack you on sight even if you have committed no crime other than trespassing. The undercroft is guarded 24 hours a day by the Chapel Guard, an Altmer watchwoman who circles through the undercroft on her patrol route.
The place used to be free to public access, but has recently been placed under guard by command of the town's count, Count Indarys. Once you arrive in Cheydinhal, asking the beggars reveals that the statuette is located beside Lady Llathasa's crypt in the chapel undercroft of the city temple. It is only possible to start this quest after you have fenced 100 gold. Your next job consists of stealing a statuette made in memory of the recently deceased Lady Llathasa Indarys of Cheydinhal.
